This AM I hit Rotary Park from 7AM-8:15. There was fog coming off the river and the creek and it was a bit overcast. Very quiet. Near the football field and the path behind the softball field to the creek there were very low numbers of individuals and species.
1 B&W Warbler
1 Palm Warbler
2 Cardinals
2 Goldfinches
1 Brown-Headed Cowbird
3 Crows
4 Canada Geese
2 Chickadees
1 Song Sparrow
2 - 3 Robins
1 Downy Woodpecker
(Seriously???)
On the road back towards the teen center 1 Savannah Sparrow, 1 Bluebird and 2 more crows.
Near the waterfront at the boat launch, 12 blue jays, 1 eastern phoebe. 1 DC Corm, 1 Mallard. Across the river heard grackles and RWBB.
As I left the sun broke through. At my office I heard what I believe was a Yellow Warbler, but I did not see it. It called twice.
Normally at this time of year at Rotary Park there are Blue-headed, Warbling Vireos, and Red-Eyed Vireos. Many Flickers, Kingbirds and Orioles. Warbler species usually include good numbers of Yellow, Chestnut Sided, Magnolia, American Redstart, B&W, and Common Yellowthroats. Nashville Warblers are not uncommon either. Last year there were also House Wrens, Bobolinks and Indigo Buntings in early May.
Where are all of the birds?
